It's the American owners trying to stop the whole lot collapsing I believe. Whenever I actually go into our local Boots stores they are almost empty of customers. Sign of the times. Too much competition maybe?

I read that in the business press at the weekend, hence my thread: I'm sure that I started another last year  ::) . Who would be in competition other than Lloyds  :-\.  Some supermarkets opened pharmacies to a point years ago but without a pharmacist they were unable to dispense. 

So much stuff bought on line too I suppose   ???
